Question

The Khadar region is more suitable for intensive agriculture than the Bhangar region. Identify the statements that support this argument.

• A. Khadar soil does not contain minerals.
• B. The Khadar soil is very acidic.
• C. Bhangar region has calcareous deposits.
• D. Khadar is more fertile than Bhangar.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Khadar is more fertile than Bhangar.

The Bhangar region has calcareous deposits, locally known as Kankar while the Khadar soil has fine silt and clay. The soil in Bhangar is coarser, whereas the Khadar soil is finer. Thus, Khadar is more fertile than Bhangar. And thanks to the fertile soil, there is intensive agriculture practised in the Khadar region.
